Is it okay to apply TotalBoat WAXLESS gelcoat over TotalFair, and then later cover that with Gelcoat with wax?
My only current options that I have in my garage available are:
- putting some TotalProtect barrier coat over my TotalFair, but I don’t know if I can build up Gelcoat over that??
- putting TotalBoat Gelcoat with Wax over the TotalFair areas, then sanding and going back for some waxless coats to build up the Gelcoat, finally finishing with Gelcoat with wax
This is all for the hull of my sunfish. I’d consider doing paint, but I’d need to do a lot more with the TotalFair to get it cosmetically prettier. For some reason I was thinking Gelcoat was going to be easier at this point…
…and as I’ve finished typing this, I may have realized my answer should be to put on TotalFair as needed, and finish sanding her to perfection, then TotalProtect, then paint???
argh. I don’t know what to do. Any thoughts?
Thank you very much for any insights!
